In this shapes learning exercise, students practice tracing 5 different sizes of squares and then draw 5 on their own in the space provided. A good, basic learning exercise for working on fine motor skills.

In this rectangle worksheet, students use their fine motor skills to cut out 4 rectangles and then paste them on a larger rectangle template.

Students study Piet Mondrian's artwork. In this visual arts lesson, students analyze the use of lines and colors by Mondrian in his art. Students create their artwork in the style of Mondrian.

In this geometric shapes worksheet, students find all the rectangles in a picture of a skyscraper. Students trace the rectangles and color them grey.

In this geometric figure instructional activity, students answer 10 multiple choice questions about geometric figures.  Students find missing angles, interior angles, properties of polygons, etc.

Students identify the properties of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students cut out shapes try to construct polygons. Students analyze the shapes and fill out a table of characteristics.

Students identify geometric patterns in quilts. In this geometry activity, students view various types of quilts and identify the geometric shapes. Students construct one hundred patch paper quilts using geometric shapes.

Students recognize the number prefixes used throughout the English language. They identify the shapes and the prefixes that are associated with them.

Students use translations, rotations, and reflections to create tessellations. They explore and construct several different types of tessellations including pure/semi-pure and non-regular polygon and "Escher-like" tessellations .

In this color the tile riddles worksheet, students solve and complete 6 different puzzles that include various riddles to solve. First, they determine the number that is represented by what color according to the information given. Then,...

Fifth graders will use geoboards to construct parallelograms. They will determine the area of a rectangle and then apply that thinking to determine the area of a parallelogram. Note: The format of this lesson is much like a PowerPoint,...

What shape do I see? Pupils will use what they know about geometric figures to determine which shape is hidden behind the squares. The shapes identified in the game: square, triangle, hexagon, and decagon. This is a great warm-up activity.

Kindergartners demonstrate their ability to identify seven different shapes by labeling each of the 28 examples on the activity. Learners must be able to identify rectangles, diamonds, squares, ovals, triangles, circles, and pentagons.

Bring shapes onto the pitching mound! There are two diagrams here depicting a basketball court and a baseball field. Learners identify the shapes they recognize on each. They get a little guidance for the first one, but you should note...

Each of these five rectangles has been split into even sections and scholars must figure the area based on the segmented shapes. There are five possible answers for them to match, however none have units attached. Keep in mind this is...

What is the area? Although there are no units involved, beginning geometers will get some good practice as they calculate the area for three rectangles and two squares. They match the answers to a list, however you can easily increase...

Middle and high schoolers solve fifteen problems from six exercise sets covering transformations, reflections, rotations, and enlargements. The solutions are provided.

What are these shapes? Learners examine pairs of six familiar shapes: circle, oval, triangle, hexagon, square, and rectangle. Each pair is placed together because of a common attribute, which is described above. Learners name the...
